Making a Kokedama

Once again our Simple Living Toowoomba group was treated to a very interesting morning as we learned from Peta how to make a Kokedama then Rick from Birdsong Market Gardens spoke about plant propagation.

Simple Living Toowoomba ~ Beeswax Wraps and Soapmaking Workshops

This morning our Simple Living Toowoomba group held two workshops in one time-slot...soapmaking and beeswax wraps. When planning the morning we thought we would be pushed for time but, due to the competence of our two presenters, Racheal and Suanne, we were finished much earlier allowing time for lots of questions to be answered and ideas to be discussed.

A visit to Birdsong Market Garden

Today our Simple Living Toowoomba group was given the opportunity to take a tour through Rick and Racheal Cameron's Birdsong Market Garden which is located at Cranley on the northern edge of Toowoomba. The weather was just beautiful and it was pleasant to take a walk around the property in the sunshine on such a stunning Autumn day.

Lambs, Winter Skin Fixes and Permaculture

I have been to two workshops this past week. The first one was at Racheal and Rick's Birdsong Market Garden where we put together some winter skin fixes which was a lot of fun. I will show you the photos later. Firstly though I had to show you the little lambs that we had a look at after the workshop.
